Lagerfeld received an 18K yellow gold Apple Watch Edition with a custom, one-of-a-kind yellow gold link bracelet. Apple had created silver and space black stainless-steel versions of the link bracelet for the general public, but Lagerfeld's solid-gold link bracelet was "specially made" by Apple, according to Lagerfeld's assistant.

Considering how the 18K gold Apple Watch with a gold buckle would cost around $17,000, and the fact Apple's link bracelets were the most expensive bands made at the time, MacRumors estimates Lagerfeld's Apple Watch cost at least $25,000.

Thing is, Lagerfeld may never actually set up his Apple Watch to use it as a smartwatch, instead choosing to wear it as an accessory.

While the blacked-out Royal Oak is definitely the watch that is most often associate with Lagerfeld in collector and enthusiast circles, it's not the only watch he was spotted wearing throughout his long and storied career. Most recently, he was seen wearing a solid 18k yellow gold Apple Watch on a special gold bracelet that was never made available to the public (the same one that Beyoncé and other celebrities were also rocking). The best part though? He appears to have never actually set the thing up, instead going Andy Warhol-style, wearing it purely as a piece of jewelry.

As Hodinkee points out, many photos online of Lagerfeld wearing his Apple Watch show the device in what appears to be a pairing mode, or a completely uncharged state.
